Supporting local communities
Providing essential energy is the cornerstone to delivering the vital services and resources needed to support communities
To do that, we buy locally, support small businesses and partner with Indigenous peoples to create opportunities that meet their individual community needs.
- Our operations produce several direct and indirect economic benefits for communities and governments by supporting thousands of jobs and creating business opportunities for local suppliers.
- Our tax dollars support essential government services such as schools, roads and hospitals.
- Our community giving program, Build Strong, supports hundreds of local non-profit and charitable organizations and offer scholarships to help build the next generation of leaders.

We contribute to the social and economic well-being of communities that are adjacent to, or are potentially impacted by, our business. Construction requires the services of equipment operators, welders, mechanics, truck drivers, labourers, and more, as well as creates demand for local goods and services. We endeavour to create opportunities for qualified, diverse, Indigenous and local suppliers and individuals to benefit from our projects and operations.
